Day 7 – Calgary to Edmonton
Calgary was a nice show. The sound was really good, good size room, sold quite a bit of stuff and started to meet more of the friends that Jazzberry has made over the years. The temperature stayed good and the Flames lost. The next 2 nights in Edmonton the Oilers lose too…. Canucks are still going strong weather we are in town or not… Arrived in Edmonton, weather holding. I went for a walk near the hotel at around 3am after the first show and it was only about minus 1. Really nice people and staff at the Sidetrack for both shows with the first one being a little busier than the second, but they played awesome both nights to a very dancey crowd. The opening band on the first night is called red shag carpet, not bad… the second night it’s a cover band that has sequined shirts. Not overly eventful and I’m starting to see the stress and difficulties of playing mostly the same songs every night. It doesn’t matter how proud of the songs the band is, playing every night is hard on the ears and the system. It’s really not a natural thing, this sexless, noisy relationship.
